Affiliates Directory
Can someone tell me what the difference between s subdomain and a directory is? And the advantages to each?
I am about to start a site with affiliate products and want to know the best way to make multiple "pages" or "sites" that link together and promate various products. I am quite a beginner. Thanks for any advice.
A Sub domain is this: example.domain.com It is in front of the man name, just like this page: answers.yahoo.com.
A Directory is this: domain.com/example.
A directory is the one that is mainly used, but some choose a sub domain, it's really just up to you.
Theres also no major advantages, just a personal opinion.
